Cronus Capital Markets Launches the CCM BetterWorld Stock Index CDA(TM)

TORONTO, ONTARIO, Jun 19 (MARKET WIRE) --
The CCM BetterWorld Stock Index CDA(TM) represents all companies in
Canada focused in the areas of:
- Green Energy - wind, solar, hydropower, geothermal, biofuel, biomass,
hydrogen/fuel cell, battery technology and wave power
- Green Related - construction, design, recycling
- Environmental Technology - air purification and filtration, water
treatment, filtration, and soil remediation.
Cronus Capital Markets created the ISE-CCM Green Energy Index (ISE: POW)
with a 5 year return of 66% and the ISE-CCM Future Energy Index (ISE:
NEW) with a 5 year return of 429%, both of which trade on the ISE, the
largest options exchange in the world. CCM expects ETF's to also be
listed on these indexes much in the same way that an ETF was listed on
the NYSE based on their Homeland Security Index.
This index has been created as a tool to be used by investors looking for
opportunities in this BetterWorld Movement. All too often investors find
it difficult to identify the opportunities they seek in new and emerging
sectors because there is no one central place where they can be found.
Cronus Capital Markets launched the "Invest in a BetterWorld(TM)"
initiative during the spring of 2008 in order to focus the attention of
the investment community on small and medium-sized public companies that
are in the business of Bettering the World through their goods and
services.
The CCM BetterWorld Stock Index CDA(TM) is a 96 page document, where in
addition to the master index list, each index component has a page where
some introductory information and analysis can be found. To view this

Michael Soni, President and CEO of Cronus Capital Markets, Inc. (CCM) has
stated, "After a thorough analysis of Canadian public companies operating
in the Green/Alternative Energy industries as well as those companies
involved with Environmental Technology, we have determined that they are
rather undervalued and, ultimately, neglected by the market. Since there
is very little information available to investors on these companies, we
are launching this initiative over the spring and summer months - at the
height of the driving season in North America - to energize these sectors
in Canada, thereby making it easier for investors to make decisions. With
so little information available on these companies, as is the current
state of affairs, everyone loses. The capital markets need to step up and
provide greater market efficiency for these companies. These sectors are
far too important."
Mr. Soni went on to say, "We are interested in being a powerful ally to
BetterWorld companies in Canada. With access to mainstream media,
hundreds of thousands of retail investors (including accredited
investors) thousands of stock brokers, and institutions interested in
this sector from all across North America - we are in a unique position
to assist individual companies in these industries, as well as the
industries as a whole."
